14 miles
Starting by the East Dart at Postbridge, the walk first heads south through Bellever Woods to Bellever Tor. We then continue south to meet the West Dart for the first time at Hexworthy. It then turns west past some disused tin mines and cross back over the West Dart at Two Bridges. We then head north past the ancient oaks of Wistmans Wood. Finally we climb to Longaford Tor, Higher White Tor and Lower White Tor before heading back to Postbridge.
There’s only 600m of climbing on the route and it follows mostly good tracks, but as it’s Dartmoor expect some wet sections.
Bring a packed lunch. Pub to finish.

How do I join the walk?
Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.
On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there.
If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car.
How do I know what to bring? And am I fit enough?
We provide a full recommended kit list here. Please do bring water, a rainproof jacket, walking trousers (or similar) and walking shoes/boots – avoid jeans and trainers.
Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot. Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
